Cache

[John Giblin]

I am using the Ajaxmanager for a control.  When I added partial caching to the control, I got some issues with the Rad Controls.  See the attched file.  Is there any way around this.

Hi John,

Partial page caching is not automatically supported with Telerik RadControls. You need to manually reference the scripts and styles of controls you are using in cached user controls. You can refer to this knowledge base article explaining how to configure RadControls for partial page caching.

Thanks. I am going to try that

Btw  is there any plans on supporting partial caching.

I don't believe so. The thing is, MS AJAX cannot load the scripts of IScriptControl objects when output caching is enabled. This means that, if you have a user control with output caching enabled inside an AJAX container, on the next AJAX postback, controls inside the user control will not be initialized if the user control itself is cached. This also means controls will not register their client scripts. MS AJAX expects that IScriptControl instances register their required scripts on every AJAX postback. Output caching violates this requirement and breaks the behavior of your controls. You do not get the client components of your script controls re-initialized on AJAX when a parent user control has been cached.
